As my previous submission to the folio demonstrate, I have been exploring the freshly exposed ground left by the retreating Mendenhall glacier. What I find are features, shapes, textures and colors which have been exposed to us for no more than ten years. In some cases, the rock has exposed in the previous month and my feet and hands are some of the first things to touch the surface since the ice left.
This is a texture, shape and color study. I am fascinated by the sparkling mica and quartz, the conflicting contour lines and rock layers, and by the macro-scopically smooth shapes which closer study shows to be an extremely rough surface.
It was shot with my TL120-1 (so 80mm lenses) which was tripod mounted. I made exactly one exposure, but I’m pleased enough with the results that I want to make more.
